this is how I figured it out, I was makeing smoke in photoshop one day, but i wanted color to be added to it, so I added some color balance to it and ""click"" it hit me.... it looked alot like fire.
--I would rate this tutorial easy and on a scale from 1 to 10 of difficulty, I would say a 3
--this is how I did it.
1. first I started with a blank page.. duh
it doesn't mater what the size is but I used 400 X 400 pixels
2. Ok, we got our blank document now were going to select the fill tool and fill the layer black.
3. Now grab the elliptical marquee tool and make and oval like the image below.
4. Now fill the oval with white. After it is filled click select --> deselect or ctrl + D
5. Here is where it gets rockey if you haven't got the above steps down well your in trouble, anyways select the smuge tool then make shore that the brush size is at 50px and hardness is at 50%. Click and hold your cursor in the black part of the image and with a medium speed sweep across the white oval. Repeat as many times as needed but leave a gap big enought for your brush. you should end up with a image like this
6. Ok I hope your still with me. Now with the smuge tool go over the gaps that we skiped in the same direction, and hopefuly you get a result alot like this
7. step 7 is not any differant than step 5 and step 6. Take the smuge tool and repeat the same thing you did in step 5 and hopefuly you get this
8. from what you have now you can contune the pathern if it don't look right or you can go ahead and color it.
9. now click Layer--> color balance and a window should open up..... now put the below settings in
I WANT YOU TO PLAY AROUND WITH THIS because the settings I have wont be the same setting that you need
after you played around with the setting you should have this
you can also make it any color you want if your looking for a differant look;
this is what I made from the above image... All I did was cange the brush size a little bit to make the fire thinner.
and thats it I hope you liked this tutorial if you have any questions you can pm me or e-mail me from the link at my web site
Happy painten

How To Make Realistic Fire!
After for a better affect Filter>Distort>ZigZag
This is what I've made. Add some grey in the middle of the smudged white blob to have this nice little darker effect in the middle. Just place a black dot and smudge evenly all through. This is the tip frm me.
And hey I had tried more than 2 hrs to make fire effect LOL!! This one is really cool.

I'm dong this in PS2 if that matters. I'm having problems with my color balance. With adjusting levels it shows no colors at all and with levels it looks really bad. Any help?

Well done, finally I got what I was looking for past 1 month, thanks once more.

It's not very realistic, if you have photoshop7 or higher:
1. Create a small white sphere with the Marquee tool on a black background
2. Use the wind filter (filter>stylize>wind) 3 or 4 times
3. Use the gaussian blur tool (filter>blur>Gaussian)
4. Rotate 90 degrees with the Free Transform tool (ctrl+t)until flames are facing upward.
5. Use the warp tool in the liquify menu (ctrl+shift+X mess with it a bit)
6. After you've got it to the way you want, click okay.
7. Finally, create a new layer and set it to overlay, color the flame however you wish!
Ta-the, this is also kinda based on your photoshop talents, but I have faith in you all :D

Hi
Thanks for the guide, its awesome

How did you get the fire behind your text like that. Did you just create the fire in one layer and add your text in another layer and lay them on top of eachother?
-reply by dave
What I would like to simulate about fires. Is the random distortions from heat waves without looking too artificial.
I like the tutorial, though... It looks good and it is a good start to make any kind you would like...
As for the posting a few above... Some people will experiment with anything in their mind... Think of how something is made up and try to create to the best of your ability... I just try to create what I think of the best that I can... Trial and error... and soon anyone can start adding their own creations to tutorial for others to enjoy! And now adays, anything is possible!
I am a beginner in photstock and have conquered the basics, layers, color that kind of thing, but the creative part is HARD to say the least. Yours is the first tutorial I have been able to follow and create what you did. Loved it and not that hard after I did it a few times. I even made flaming TEXT.

Ok I got a problem with the fire that no one can figure out and I'm just curious to see if you might know. I want to make the fire without having to be on the same layer as the black background. This will give me the ability to do whatever I want with the fire. The thing is I cant colorize the fire right without the black since white is already all colors and black is not. The black from what ive seen is where the color comes in. I can cut it out but the fire does not look right anymore if I do that. Do you know of a way that this can be done?
-question by Andrew
Set layer to screen when done...This will take out the black.
Have you tried doing a reverse mask?
Create a mask for your flames-on-black layer, select all and copy the flame layer, then switch over to the mask (hold down alt and click on the mask thumbnail) paste to the mask and then switch back. Sometimes you have to invert the mask to get it to hide the right areas, and you may need to play with the levels or contrast in the mask a bit, but it should work to mask out the black background and make the flames a bit translucent too.
Not a member, so you can get back to me at deviantArt; just do a search for avmorgan...
-reply by avmorgan
very nice, simple and easy, and I found you can apply the fire to pretty much anything, I lit my house on fire with it
